Morrison government embarrasses Australia internationally.
" Australia has been named and shamed by the United Nations secretary general António Guterres, in an extraordinary speech that called out the governments of wealthy nations for not setting stronger 2030 emissions reduction targets.
In an address to the Economist Sustainability Summit overnight, Guterres targeted his criticism at wealthy countries, including the members of the G20, saying that they were overwhelmingly responsible for global emissions, and so had an obligation to act.
And, unusually for a person in his position, Guterres singled out Australia as being among a group of countries he described as “holdouts” on announcing stronger 2030 emissions reduction targets. "
